Court documents are revealing more about a double homicide that happened this weekend in Lancaster.

Two teenagers, Juan Cristo-Munoz Jr., 19, and Joshua Proper, 18, both of Lancaster, broke into a home on the 600 block of Poplar Street around 1 a.m. Sunday, according to the affidavit of probable cause. Once inside, the two confronted the victims, both of whom were disabled, demanded money and then killed them, according to investigators.

The victims have been identified as Leroy Kinsey, 61, who was physically disabled, and Richard Walton, 62, who was confined to a wheelchair.

Monday afternoon, a hand-drawn sign with a cross and hearts was taped to the front door of the home. It said:

“RIP Uncle Leroy and Uncle Richard. We love you!”

Sword used in killing, affidavit states

When officers responded to the home shortly after 1 a.m., they found Kinsey deceased, covered in blood. There was also blood on the wall and ceiling of the main living room. Police found Walton in an upstairs bedroom, also deceased and covered in blood.

Police said they found Munoz and Proper hiding in the basement of the home.

“Munoz was observed wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt with the hood up over his head. Munoz was wearing blood covered black fingerless glove on his left hand and a blood covered yellow latex glove on his right hand. The officers observed blood all over Munoz’s clothing and shoes. Officers located a knife within Munoz’s middle sweatshirt pocket and also observed two additiona knives,” reads the affidavit.

Police said they also found blood on the back of Proper’s leather coat, and the front and back of his jeans. Kinsey’s wallet was also in Proper’s pocket, according to investigators.

In an interview around 3:50 a.m. at the police station, police say Proper confessed.

“Proper admitted that he and Munoz had entered 627 Poplar Street by forcing open the rear window just above the Bilco door for the purpose of stealing money from the residents inside,” the affidavit states. “Proper and Munoz encountered … Kinsey in the main living room of the residence and demanded money from him. Proper stated that he and Munoz stabbed Kinsey multiple times specifically in the chest, shoulder and neck area.”

A sign for "Uncle Leroy" and "Uncle Richard" is now taped to the front door of the home where the two were killed.

The document also describes the encounter with the second victim, Walton.

“Proper continued that he and Munoz went to the second floor and encountered … Walton in the front bedroom. Proper stated that Munoz stabbed Walton using a large sword to strike the torso and leg area cuasing massive trauma,” reads the affidavit.

Police have filed charges against Cristo-Munoz and Proper, charging both of them with two counts of criminal homicide, one count of burglary, one count of criminal conspiracy to commit burglary, and two counts of robbery before Magisterial District Judge Adam Witkonis. Both suspects are being held for processing and arraignment.
